RefPro Ultimate: The Professional Reference Overlay for Blender

Stop Alt-Tabbing. Stop fighting with Image Empties. Keep your references where they belong—right in front of your eyes.

You're in the zone, sculpting or modeling. You need to check your reference. You look away to a second monitor, or you struggle to see an "Image Empty" that’s clipping through your mesh. It breaks your flow. External apps like PureRef are great, but they sit over your UI, blocking your tools.

RefPro Ultimate brings the power of a dedicated reference board directly into the Blender 3D Viewport. It renders your images and videos on top of your geometry but under your UI.

🔥 Features:

🎥 Video Sync Support: Load MP4/MOV references. They sync perfectly with your Blender timeline (with audio!). Essential for animators and FX artists.

⚡ Native Hotkeys: Don't learn new controls. Select an image and use G (Grab), S (Scale), and R (Rotate) just like you do with 3D models.

🖱️ Interactive Drag & Drop: Click and drag images anywhere on the screen.

👻 Ghost Mode (Opacity): Instantly lower opacity to model "through" your reference.

🪞 Quick Flip: Press F to flip images horizontally. vital for checking silhouette and symmetry.

🔒 Lock & Layer: Lock images in place so you don't accidentally move them while sculpting.

Who is this for?

Character Artists: Keep concept art overlaid near your model without it intersecting geometry.

Animators: Load video reference of movement and play it back frame-by-frame synced with your rig.

Hard Surface Modelers: Line up blueprints perfectly on screen.

YouTubers/Tutorial Makers: Load your "Key Points" or logos as overlays while you record.
